Red River Trio

The Red River Piano Trio is a chamber ensemble formed by three UND music students selected to be part of an annual residency in Kanuma, Japan.

The Trio studies chamber music for one full year under the direction of Dr. Nariaki Sugiura and Dr. Simona Barbu. Part of the training includes regular ensemble coaching as well as local, regional, and national performances. The Red River Trio’s final project is a week-long residency in Kanuma, Japan. This project is one of Kanuma’s official events, and the trio makes school visits in Kanuma to promote musical and cultural exchanges. Their activities culminate with the joint concert with Kanuma’s local ensembles including Kanuma Junior Philharmonic Orchestra, Kanuma High School Orchestra, and In Tempo String Orchestra.
